Ask HN: How to get contracts signed.

I'm making contracts for professional services work such as analytics consulting. What's the easiest way to get a document signed by both parties?

Enterprises are still doing the print, sign, fax thing and some like comcast are using clunky web tools. There must be a better way!

I see a few apps in the appstore that allow you to sign on iPhone. I was also wondering if something like "I agree to this contract" in an email would suffice.

Wondering if anyone has a good app or process recommendations?

    These guys help you to perfect contracts, from building the forms (as complicated as you need, they do hospitals, financial services and more so yours should be a piece of cake) to sending them, sending reminders and making sure the client follows the correct funnels.

    Echo sign is what we use here for our employment contracts, it's all legally binding and it's fast and easy.
